The judge told the jury they “might like to consider” the state of mind of Farnham and Devon Corpe in relation to Farnham’s decision to flee the scene and conflicting evidence given by Devon Corpe.

Rachael Smith’s state of mind was also relevant to her actions after the fatal stabbing, the judge said. The judge asked the jury to consider whether Smith did what she did out of choice and whether what she did were the actions of a reasonable person with her attributes.

She reminded them they must be sure of each verdict in relation to each defendant and that if they were not sure that Farnham intended to kill or seriously injure anyone lesser charges of manslaughter and unlawful wounding were available.

Farnham watched the jury intently as they concentrated on the judge’s directions. He was wearing a green polo t-shirt and jeans.

Smith sat fidgeting beside him in the dock. Her long dark hair was swept up in a ponytail, and she was wearing black trousers and a stripy knitted top with cut-away shoulders.

Tashan Corpe’s father and his uncle sat listening from the public gallery Justice Simler made her final remarks to the jury.

“Your verdict must be unanimous in relation to each defendant and each verdict,” she said, telling them she would advise them if at some later point she would accept a majority verdict.

“I have no doubt there will be some debate in the jury room. In that way, I have great confidence you will reach the right verdict.

“You are under no pressure of time at all to reach a verdict. You have as long as you need.”
